importance of good back up.
one dog vs. two wolves--from what i can see, the shepherd only
stabbed at wolves periodically to prevent a gang-up. old footage.
in the end the dog roles around in them--playing with his food
and the sheep nuzzle with him...their hero

why, you may ask, am i inspired by these clips:
i was raised to think that 'wild vs. domestic' equal death for the domestic
i'm not kidding, i've even read an account of a bear cub dispatching a pitbull.
it may, of course, been a lie--as it was a story 'told' and not filmed.
for me it's a metaphor for those of us who let go of the hype and just fookin
go for it. like that clip on Richie's site where he says something like,
"they're not monsters, they can be stopped...and they should be stopped"
to paraphrase.
that's how i see us. domestic dogs--training to stop wild idiots from ruining it
for the rest of us. fook'em.
the other message really hits home from the 2nd clip...the technique was to keep
the edge and not let up. i was once told something by someone--not long before need
ing the advice. an old guy that used to work with me said [regarding fighting], "once
you get a rat by the tail, never let it go".
i had a fight not long after. he should have ended up on top of me i was so surprized
but somehow managed to spin as i tripped with him--ending up on top. pure unadulterated
luck. i had the rat by the tail and never let him go. before the advice i might have gotten
up and stupidly 'held my ground', never noticing that i had just in fact given up ground.
so the second dog has triggered a memory in me that was really inspiring when it first hit
home. if you have an advantage, savagely keep it and never let up.
